Peter Andre was left almost speechless when an entire room of top celebrities showed their support by giving him a standing ovation at an Award Ceremony yesterday.

Peter, who only attended the O2 Silver Clef Awards to present an award, was amazed when the likes of Gary Barlow, Lulu, Katherine Jenkins, the Stereophonics, Queen and Beach Boy Legend Brian Wilson rose to applaud him as he came out on stage.

'I can't believe how nice all these guys have been to me - I really wasn't expecting any of it. I'm slightly in shock.' he said.

When Denise Van Outen introduced the singer on to the stage, she asked the audience at London's Hilton hotel: 'Who's on Team Andre then?' to rousing cheers.

Peter then reportedly took four minutes to reach the stage 30ft away as well-wishers took to hug and shake his hand, while opera singer Katherine Jenkins wolf whistled him all the way.

Fans of the brand include Britney Spears and Madonna. Pete joked that his split had helped him clinch the modelling contract, saying, 'It's amazing how stress keeps you trim. I'm might be looking all right, but I'm not feeling OK.'

The
couple, who announced they were to separate in May, found romance on
the reality show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2004.

During the interview today he added that his children were the most important thing in his life.

He
and Price, aka Jordan, have two children, Junior, three, and Princess,
two, while Andre is also stepfather to seven-year-old Harvey, Price's
son from a previous relationship.
